A member of the Taminu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, Anthony Ehilebo. has alleged that judges handling cases involving the party are biased against their faction.
Ehilebo made the allegation on Monday while speaking during a live appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time.
His comments followed the ruling of the Appeal Court earlier in the day, which dismissed an appeal filed by the Taminu Turaki-led faction of the party.
The appellate court also affirmed the earlier decision of the Federal High Court in Abuja delivered on October 31, 2025. In that judgment, the court restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission from recognizing the outcome of the PDP’s 2025 National Convention.
Reacting to the development, Ehilebo maintained that members of the faction had repeatedly raised concerns about the conduct of some judges handling their cases.
“The PDP has complained about the judges that are always biased towards us.
“You have to understand that the case before Justice James Omotosho was killed in a particular way because the national legal advisor at the time had attempted to sabotage that case and was allowed to sabotage that case by the judge that was hearing that matter.
“We have written to the CJN to recuse Justice Abdulmalik Joyce, Justice Lifu, and Justice Omotosho from hearing any matter that concerns us.”
